Drilling Begins in Colombia on Miranda′s Pavo Real Project

01.11.2011  |  Business Wire

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda?) (TSX-V: MAD) (Pink Sheets: ?MRDDF) is
pleased to announce that its funding partner, Red Eagle Mining
(TSX-V:RD) has commenced a 16,400 ft (5,000 m) diamond core drilling
program on the Pavo Real project located in the Tolima Department,
Colombia.


This initial program consists of eight core holes that will be drilled
at angles of 45 degrees. A drill plan is available on the Company′s
website. Geologic targets include broad zones of mineralized quartz
veins and veinlets, and mineralized dikes and breccias. Links: http://www.mirandagold.com/i/maps/PavoReal/Figure8.jpg

Strong radiometric anomalies inferred as potassic alteration zones
coincide with mapped structures, historic workings and samples with
anomalous grades of gold. Of the 1,040 rock samples taken on the
property, 540 rock samples assayed over 0.1 g Au/t, averaging 4.1 g
Au/t. Highlights of surface sampling include 135 ft of 0.043 oz Au/t (41
m of 1.47 g Au/t) in the La Virgin target area on the Pavo Real project.


Joe Hebert, Miranda′s Vice President of Exploration recently returned
from a field trip to Pavo Real where he assisted the Red Eagle Team in
planning this drill campaign. According to Joe, 'We are pleased to
initiate our first drill program in Colombia and we are really excited
about the potential at Pavo Real. We are seeing numerous targets with
robust surface values associated with multiple rock types including
sediments, dikes, and breccias. Red Eagle has done an excellent job
mapping and advancing targets on the project. We hope this work is
rewarded with positive drill results?.


In preparation to drilling and in order to define the initial drill
targets the following work was completed:


  • Detailed structural and geological mapping on surface and in historic
    underground workings;

  • Trenching;

  • Collection and analysis of 1,040 rock samples;

  • Aerial magnetic and radiometric (potassic alteration) surveys; and

  • Petrographic thin section study.


All preparation for drilling has been completed, including construction
of drill pads, obtaining a water supply, storage facilities, permits,
and surface rights access. The Pavo Real project is easily accessed by
road with manpower, water and power readily available. It is located
four km from the town of Rovira and 20 km from the city of Ibague.
